3.8.2 Other modems tested by Sandstorm
Sandstorm is constantly testing new modems to find those that work best with PhoneSweep. For an up-to-
date list of the modems Sandstorm has tested and our recommendations, please see
http://www.sandstorm.net/support/phonesweep/modemtests.shtml
. Also, please feel free to contact
Sandstorm Enterprises to discuss modem-related issues and your particular needs.
3.8.3 Modems Not Recommended
Sandstorm Enterprises specifically recommends against the use of almost all US Robotics modems for
telephone scanning. Although these modems are well suited to "normal" data connections, their voice
detection attempts have caused several problems with some PBXs and voicemail systems.
Sandstorm Enterprises also specifically recommends against the use of PhoneSweep with
"WinModems", such as ACP modems (Most internal laptop modems seem to be WinModems).
These modems work mostly in software, and do not interoperate correctly with PhoneSweep. Some of
these modems may even crash your computer if you use them with PhoneSweep.
3.8.4 Modems recommended by customers in other countries
Below is a table of Single Call Detect capable modems recommended by customers in other countries.
Note that we have not been able to test these modems ourselves. Please see the section on initialization
strings for additional information on using modems outside the United States. Let us know about any
Single Call Detect capable modems that should be added to this list.
Please note: Since customers initially recommended the Elsa Microlink 56K modem for use in Austria,
England, Germany and Sweden, we have seen Elsa become a Global manufacturer.
We have tested the US model of the Elsa Microlink 56K modem and find it does not work with
PhoneSweep (does not seem to recognize USA dial tone), so, outside of Europe, we recommend that
customers who try the Elsa Microlink 56K modem do so only if you can return it for not being compatible
with PhoneSweep.
Not recommended: Dynamode, used in Israel. While it is made by the same manufacturer as the
Dynalink (Askey Computers), it is not Single Call Detect capable.
